New Muzzleloader help

[Southwind]

I shoot in .54 cal////425 gr hornady hphb conical with 80 or 90 grains 777 2f powder and cci#11 magnum caps...250 yrds is achievable but i gotta put 30" of lift on it at 250 when zeroed at 100 yrds,,,has worked well for me .this is the hunter model w 1 in 32 twist barrel.knocks em down hard.

Awesome! I need to try some conicals. I have had mine since 93' and have only shot round balls and have never taken game with it. I want to change that.

Mine is the 50 cal and the flintlock great plains but I will have to find some hornady's

I have a Remington 700 ml that really don't get shot much since I got a CVA Optima it shoots good it likes 100 grain pyrodex and 290 grain Barnes.

I believe hornadys great plains id recomend would be the 385 hbhp for your size,,,Id start a little lower grain on powder for .50///70 or 80 grains of 777 ff should probly work for ya,,,if you over powder it your group will spread.the hollow base design seems to seal well with these conicals.

CVA Accura V2 & BH209 works for me, just make sure your sights are tight

If you haven't bought your rifle yet, you might want to check these folks out...

http://www.muzzle-loaders.com/ I had a good conversation with the CEO Jeff Clemens yesterday. They're good folks and an independent small business.

Thank you everyone for the input. I am leaning toward CVA still narrowing down the rifle itself. Thanks for the website smokepolepaul

I have 6 muzzleloaders on the rack, all different brands, my favorite is the tack driving Savage ML110 II. You can do a lot of things with it, including reaching out there.
